Loyola in the Company of Friends(LITCOF)L’ITCOF – ‘Loyola In The Company Of Friends’ – the transformed ‘reading club’, is an interdepartmental collaboration of five departments of Loyola College of Social Sciences – Sociology, Social Work, Personnel Management, Counselling Psychology, and Disaster Management. It is an extra-curricular space where students can participate in discussions on topics of utmost pertinence and express themselves accordingly. L’ITCOF showcases a spectrum of activities where students can come together and pave the way for their future endeavours. At the outset itself, L’ITCOF has been aiming at building a praxis for the classroom academics. It runs after the renowned Loyolite pedagogy of ‘Engaged Knowledge Building’. It provides multidimensional skills for its members such as writing, reading, communication, discussing, sharing, painting etc. The goal of L’ITCOF is to make the students aware of their surroundings and make them fit for any impediment they may face once they leave Loyola. L’ITCOF members organise at least one activity in a month to meet the goals. Student coordinators Arun Vincent J and Maneesha S, executive committee members, staff coordinator Dr Sunil Kumar P., and staff member Fr. Saji S.J. are involved in planning and implementing the activities.

Litcof evaluation meeting started with an introduction of Sunil sir and Fr Saji. About 10 student Litcof members shared their one year experience with LITCOF. Most of them shared the nature tour to be most interesting program, which also helped in increasing the bond between Litcof members. Most of them felt that seminars with outside resource persons were beneficial, They raised the need of more participation from the members. They complemented that LITCOF logo was a good initiative. Suggestions include to add more debates, competition, discussions on current affairs, book review, movie review, conduct more tours, news or article review. The LITCOF team received appreciation for conducting programs regularly through online platforms during the Covid period. The future plan were discussed including plan for a LITCOF tour, release of next chimizhu etc. Student coordinators were selected for the upcoming program on farmers protest.

Chimizhu Release September 30th 2020
“It is impossible to think about the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is impossible for a bird to fly on only one wing.”- Swami Vivekananda
Women as a ‘category’ or as a ‘group’ in comparison to ‘men’ have been relegated to margins due to systemic and structural discrimination within the society, irrespective of their hierarchical status, ranking or background, subjected to violence within the public and private spaces, they are being doubly discriminated and denied of the basic rights and are often oppressed by norms, culture and customs in a male-dominated world where capitalism and globalization commodify and objectifies women. Under different economic conditions, and under the influence of specific historical, cultural, legal and religious factors, marginalization is one of the manifestations of gender inequality. In other words, women may be excluded from certain jobs and occupations, incorporated into certain others, and marginalized in others. In general, they are always marginalized relative to men, in every country and culture. In this scenario, the ninth session of LITCOF was conducted on 28h October 2020 through the online platform, Zoom. The topic for the day was ‘ആനുകാലിക ഇന്ത്യയിൽ സ്ത്രീകൾ നേരിടുന്ന വെല്ലുവിളികൾ- ചരിത്ര സാമൂഹിക തലങ്ങളുടെ വിശകലനം’.
